Title Model of potential hazards in coal mines
Original title Modell der im Steinkohlenbergbau auftretenden Gefährdungen [in German]
Bibliographic information 1985, Vol.46, No.1, p.39-45. Illus. 15 ref.
Abstract Presentation of a mathematical model whose purpose is the prediction of accident and disease rates in Polish coal mines, and of the preventive measures to be taken on the basis of the model. Distinction is made between static, kinetic and dynamic evolutionary phases; safety measures corresponding to each phase are described. Evaluation of the static risk of occupational diseases (due to noise, vibration or toxic gases); comparison of accident risks and health risks due to different concentrations of carbon monoxide in air; evolution of fire risks and preventive measures in the various phases.
